I spent 3 weeks there in Nov and had an excellent time. Location is great and has a very active/artsy vibe, felt very safe even late into the evening.

Check out waterfront bridge for city view at night and walk at least once into the city across the willamsburg bridge. Cat is friendly. Gary.close

Daniel is very relaxed and keeps the place nice and cozy - it's his own home, after all. That's why you'll feel more like visiting a friend of yours rather than a hostel. Bedford Ave. has everything you need and you're in Manhattan in no time. We will definitely come back another time!

WH is not just a hostel, it's also Daniel's home and he'll make everyone feel like his personal guest. Williamsburg is not only a trendy neighbourhood, it's also a multicultural and welcoming place that will make you feel home too.

After staying at several Hostels in NYC I found this Hostel to be the best - while it was a Hostel it also felt a little bit like home. I enjoyed my stay and the company in every possible way at Williamsburg HostL! Keep up the great work guys!

It was really nice to stay somewhere like home after the madness of manhattan. Nice to be able to sit and relax and chat with fellow travellers. I really enjoyed it here, and its a great area with good food, views of manhattan and close to the subway.

Fantastic place to stay. Boutique styled, friendly hostel that goes with the flow. Discretely placed in the main buzz of Williamsburg, this place is highly recommended.

Not a bad place at all. Needs some cleaning in the bathroom and the entry way. Although, the key system for early risers was not great, the door needs to close. Kinda hard to get to the subway from there also. Still enjoyable.

Nice friendly hostel in very nice area Williamsburg, bustling street Bedford ave just outside, noisy most evenings and even more so on weekends where they party until early morning hours, I didn't mind this though. Only a few blooks to bedford ave L-train connection to Manhattan.

all in all it was really nice. the hostel was "outfitted" by IKEA. the surrounding around the hostel was good and safe. there was a little white cat at the hostel and the steps were squicking a little bit. the bus was ride infront of the house and the subway was a 10 minute walk.

Nice location near the Beford stop on the L train in Brooklyn (only one stop away from Manhattan). This hostel is actually just a guy's apartment, but he is pretty friendly and keeps the place clean.

Only word of warning - it's more like staying at a friend's place than a hostel. Calling it a 'mini-hostel' is an understatement: this is an entrepreneurial guy putting a spare room to good use. I think the hostel sleeps 6 in total. The only real downside: if the hostel were full there might be a bit of pressure on the single bathroom. Oh, and don't stay here if you have cat allergies - is the home of two lovely moggies.close

This is the place to stay in New York! There are lots of great places to eat and drink nearby and only a short subway ride to Manhattan. The staff are excellent, they are friendly and keep the place very clean. I stayed in about 10 hostels over the course of a month in NY and this was the...
